Since 14 March, I had ongoing problems when I tried to load Family Farm Seaside. On 15 March, the game loaded briefly, allowing me to keep my consecutive log ins that had lasted for almost 300 days. Shortly thereafter, however, the game failed to load and, until 21 March, never loaded again.
I am extremely grateful to the Support Team for Family Farm Seaside. They stayed with my case, endured my desperate emails and responded and continued to offer suggestions until finally, my game loaded again.
I play Seaside on an IPad2 and I tried many different actions without any success. It may be helpful, however, to list these in case they help other players.
If you ever have issues that cannot be solved through any of the following methods, Support will help you.
CLOSING ALL OTHER APPS
Hit the Home Button twice to display all open Apps, then slide your finger from bottom to top to 'wipe' each from the screen. This action should close each open App one by one. When all have been closed, power off the IPad and then turn it on again. If you are fortunate, this will solve any issues with your game.
GAME CENTRE
Here is a series of steps for solving loading issues that was sent to me by the developers:
1. Log out of the Game Centre
2. Close all Apps on your device
3. Shut down and then restart your device
4. Log into the Game Centre
5 Open the game FROM the Game Centre
I do not have the ability to open the game FROM the Game Centre but I found out how to log in and out of the Game Centre after my game failed to load again. Basically, it is a matter of going to the Game Centre icon in your Settings and not the icon that is on the Home Screen. You should have the ability to log out and log in again by entering your password when it is requested.
There does appear to be an ongoing problem between the Game Centre and Family Farm Seaside. When my game failed to load again, I found that I was unable to load the 'Games' screen in the Game Centre as well. It simply hung there as though it were 'working' on something, but never loading either.
REINSTALLING THE GAME
You can delete the app for Family Farm Seaside and then reinstall it without losing any progress in the game. When you go to your Home Screen, you should see all your Apps on the screen in the form of little square icons. Find the one for Family Farm Seaside and hold down your finger until it begins to shake and a little 'x' is displayed in the corner. You then should see a prompt asking if you wish to delete the App. Do so, then go to the App Store and find it there to reinstall it. Before you reinstall the App, power off the IPad and then turn it back on. Reinstalling an App can solve some issues.
INTERNET CONNECTION
If you have more than one internet connection, this can cause loading issues. Disable ALL Internet Connections but one and then power off and power back on before attempting to load the game again.
More than one internet connection should not cause problems ordinarily with games, but at this point in time, it can affect Family Farm Seaside. The developers have assured me that they are working on a fix for this bug.
RESETTING THE IPAD
One of the more comprehensive and drastic methods of solving issues is to reset the IPad completely. You do this as follows:
First close all open Apps by hitting the Home Button twice. You will see all Open Apps in windows on the Home Screen. Swipe each from bottom to top to remove it, thus closing it. Once all are closed, hold down the Home Button WITH the Sleep/Wake (Power Off/On) Button until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, then let go of the Buttons.
You then may be able to power off the tablet and then power on again and find that the issue has been solved.
Otherwise, you may see a plug displayed on your screen as well as an ITunes logo. This means that you need to connect your IPad to your laptop or computer to sync it with ITunes, thereby resetting it completely.
Note that I am not an expert in technical matters. I simply am sharing some of the potential solutions to loading issues that were sent to me.

New Time-Restricted Nyepi Mission
A time-limited dual Quest has been released in Family Farm Seaside today. I had seen announcements of it during the past couple of days when I was unable to load my farm. Almost 300 days of consecutive log-ins without ever missing a day lost... In any case, much to my delight, my Farm loaded today after I made some changes to my tablet and internet connection ability. God willing, it will continue to load. In any case, here is the information about the new Missions.
The first as usual is a Collections Mission with random collection of specific colours of Fans from specified Crops, Trees Animals and Machines. These are as follows:
70 Green Balinese Fans from Chardonnay Crop
50 Blue Balinese Fans from Peacock Feathers
30 Pink Balinese Fans from Love Cakes (Cake Machine)
10 Yellow Balinese Fans from Lemon Trees
The two Prizes for completing the Collections Mission are a Jackfruit Tree and a Balinese Gateway
The second Quest sequence is a traditional one and is as follows:

Mission Strategies
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Although it is best to focus first on the Collections Mission as you will need the two Prizes in order to progress past Nyepi VI in the traditional Quest, there is no harm in working on them together. If you look at all the requirements for these Quests, you will see that you need an incredible quantity of Rice. Rice is fed to the Turkey to produce Turkey (meat) which is used in more than one of the Recipes you must prepare in order to complete the Nyepi Quest. Rice is fed to the Peacock to produce the Peacock Feathers needed for the Blue Balinese Fans in the Collections Mission. Grow Rice, Rice and more Rice and if you have cleanable Decorations, place them on your Farm in order to obtain more Power randomly from the Gift Bags.
Another Item that is needed in some quantity for the Nyepi Quest is Coconut. It is one of the main ingredients in Balinese Recipes so it is not surprising that it features in this Quest sequence. You will need Cane to make Sugar as well as for use in one of the Quest Recipes.
Coconut in this Quest is mainly required in the form of Coconut Milk. This is a Recipe that can be made in advance. Even with the new Cleaning Gift Bag option that delivers 1 Power to Farmers randomly, lack of sufficient Power to complete a stage in a time-restricted Quest can be a problem. One therefore should make as many Ingredient Recipes as possible BEFORE one needs them. Obviously you cannot make a required Dish in advance but you can make the Dishes that constitute the Ingredients for those Quest Dishes.
WARNING ABOUT QUEST PRODUCTS
In this Quest, you are well advised NOT to sell any of the Crops or Kitchen Dishes that you make. They will be needed at some point during the Quest. In some cases, you will find that the Dish you made in one step is not needed in the step that immediately follows but much later. This probably is a matter of good planning on the part of the developers to allow Power to be restored to the Kitchen.
For example, 20 Betutu Chicken and 30 Satay must be made in Part IV of the Nyepi Quest. In Part IV, the final step of the Quest, you will be required to produce 10 Balinese Rice and 20 Betutu Chicken Rice. One of the ingredients in Balinese Rice is Satay. One of the ingredients in Betutu Chicken Rice is Betutu Chicken. The other ingredient in each case is another Dish. The second Ingredient can be made in advance in order to stagger the use of Power.
For Balinese Rice, you will need the Satay and Jackfruit Curry. Jackfruit Curry requires Jackfruit and Coconut Milk. If you have your Jackfruit Tree, however, it may be best to wait until Part VIII to harvest the number of Jackfruits needed for 10 Balinese Rice as you will need to harvest 8 for this step in the Quest. Coconut Milk, however, should be made in advance. It requires a Coconut and 2 Sugar to produce.
For Betutu Chicken Rice, you will need Coconut Milk as well, as it is an Ingredient in Sticky Rice, which is the other Ingredient in the Recipe. In other words, you will need a total of 30 Coconut Milk to satisfy the requirements of both Dishes made in the final step in the Quest.
BATCH PRODUCTION
There was a time when Batch Production was less than practical to some extent unless the Player were willing to spend RC on OP. It was very difficult to earn sufficient OP to be able to consider the use of Batch Production except in special circumstances. Now, however, with a number of recent options that include the OP Sheep (a reward for completing Daily Orders) and Cleaning Gift Bags (often containing 3 OP), a Player can use Batch Production regularly. Even so, OP is not unlimited and I myself prefer to save my OP for use during time-restricted Quests such as this one.
My own strategy where Machine production is concerned is to have at least two of all Machines and to split the Quest requirement between Batch Production and manual production. I set one Machine to Batch Production for about half the total amount of product required for the Quest. The other half I produce manually.
What is nice about Batch Production is that one can organise it in advance of the Quest and simply refrain from collecting it until the Mission or Quest requires it. This is similar to the new Machine House option in the original Family Farm.

TRADITIONS OF NYEPI
Nyepi is the Balinese New Year, the Day of Silence that falls on the day that follows the dark moon of the Spring Equinox and begins a new Year of the Saka Hindu era that began in 78 A.D.
The Balinese have three different calendars. They follow the Gregorian Calendar for official business, but other than that, they have the Pawukon, from the word 'Wuku' meaning week and the Sasih, from the word that means month. Wuku consists of thirty items beginning with Sinta, the first Wuku, and ending with Watugunung, the last Wuku. The Pawukon is a 210 day ritual calendar brought from Java in the 14th century and consists of a complex cycle of numerological conjunctions providing the basic schedule for ritual activities on Bali. Sashi is a parallel system that originated in India, a lunar calendar that begins with the Vernal Equinox and is equally important in Balinese Culture in terms of marking the days when respect is to be paid to the gods.
Nyepi is a day that, like most of the New Year Days in the various cultures of the world, is intended to keep Nature in balance. It is based on a tale of King Kanista of India and the year when he was chosen to rule. The King was known for his tolerance of other faiths, including Hinduism and Buddhism. Aji Saka performed the Dharma Yatra, the missionary tour to promote and spread Hinduism in that era and introduced the Saka year to Indonesia.
The Nyepi Festival consists of a number of different ritual days:
Melasti, Mekiyis or Melis; This occurs three days before Nyepi and is devoted to the cleansing of the pratima, arca or pralingga, a ritual Statue. Symbols that are intended to concentrate the mind to bring closeness to God are used. The ceremony is aimed at the cleansing of ALL of Nature and takes the Amerta, the source of Eternal Life, from the ocean or other water resources. On this day, the effigies of all the Gods are taken from the village temples to the river in long and colourful ceremonies. They then are bathed ritually by the Neptune of the Balinese God, the God Baruna, before being taken back to their homes in their shrines.
Tawur Kesanga: This occurs on the day before Nyepi and consists of an exorcism ceremony. All the villages of Bali hold a ceremony on this day at the major crossroads, considered to be the meeting place of Demons in most cultures of the world. Ogoh-ogoh, fantastic monsters or evil spirits or Butha Kala made of bamboo are brought to the crossroads for carnival activities. The Ogoh-ogoh monsters are symbols of the evil spirits that surround our environment. The carnivals are held throughout Bali after the setting of the sun.
Bleganjur, a type of Balinese gamelan music, accompanies the processions which are illuminated by torches. The frightening statues are taken from classical Balinese lore and include giants with fangs, bulging eyes and unkempt hair. These processions usually are organised by the Seka Teruna, the youth organisation of Banjar. Tawur Kesanga is performed by every level of society, within private homes as well as outside. In the evening, the Hindus celebrating Ngerupuk begin to make noise and light burning torches to set fire to the Ogoh-ogoh in order to destroy the Bhuta Kala or evil spirits.
Nyepi: Nyepi Day is the Day of Silence. Every street is quiet. Pecalangs, traditional Balinese security, control street security and maintain the peace. On this 'Day of Silence', no cars are allowed upon the roads. People are expected to stay at home and observe a period of meditation and quiet. Television, radios and computer activity are not encouraged. It is a day upon which all frantic activity should cease, a day upon which the slate of the old year is wiped clean, to prepare for a new Year.
Ngembak Geni: The day after Nyepi is a day upon which Hindus forgive one another and perform the Dharma Canthi. This includes the recitation or reading of ancient scripts of songs with their lyrics known as Sloka, Kekidung and Kekawin as well as others.
New Year rituais in every culture tend to include certain ritual acts. A cleansing ritual is one. Noise that frightens away demons is another. Nyepi has these elements as well.
The first as usual is a Collections Mission with random collection of specific colours of Fans from specified Crops, Trees Animals and Machines. These are as follows:
70 Green Balinese Fans from Chardonnay Crop
50 Blue Balinese Fans from Peacock Feathers
30 Pink Balinese Fans from Love Cakes (Cake Machine)

Ngembak Geni: The day after Nyepi is a day upon which Hindus forgive one another and perform the Dharma Canthi. This includes the recitation or reading of ancient scripts of songs with their lyrics known as Sloka, Kekidung and Kekawin as well as others.
New Year rituais in every culture tend to include certain ritual acts. A cleansing ritual is one. Noise that frightens away demons is another. Nyepi has these elements as well.

A Dragon's Legend Time-Restricted Quests
A Dragon's Legend
This Quest sequence is based upon the legend of the Wawel Dragon, an old Polish tale that is connected with the founding of the city of Krakow. A statue of the Wawel Dragon, belching real flames, is one of the attractions of modern Krakow. It stands at the entrance to the Dragon's Den, a natural cave in Wawel Hill.
As usual, the time-restricted Quest is a double-pronged Mission. Placing the Dragon's Cave allows the Farmer to collect Crowns from 'all kinds of crops, trees, animals and machines'.
You can upgrade the Dragon's Cave using Torches and Stalagmites. Torches can be requested from Neighbours. Stalagmites can be redeemed with Crowns. The upgrade to Level 5 allows double collection of Crowns randomly from any item. It is only when you wish to upgrade from Level 4 to Level 5 that you will be required to spend 5 RC on a Dragon Egg as well as using 10 Torches and 5 Stalagmites. In other words, for all other upgrades, the materials can be obtained either from Neighbour Requests or by redeeming Crowns for Stalagmites.
The Four ordinary Prizes that can be redeemed with Crowns are:
Stalagmites: Used to upgrade the Dragon's Cave
These cost 1 Crown, irrespective of how many you redeem.
Wawal Dragon: a Total of 5, one of which must be placed on your Farm to complete a sequence in the Quest
Green Mystron
Can be used in the Mystery Shop as currency
A total of 100 can be redeemed
30 OP
A Total of 30 can be redeemed
You must redeem one of each Prize to unlock the final Prize in the form of a Wild Rose Tree which will cost 150 Crowns. The Wild Rose Tree produces Wild Rose Fruits that are needed to complete one of the sequences in the Quest
The second element is a traditional sequence of Quests in the form of 'A Dragon's Legend'.

Strategies for Success
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The time-limited Quest runs for a total of 11 Days, irrespective of the day when you begin the first step in the sequence. You therefore should begin as soon as possible. The first priority as always is to complete the Collections Quest. Time-restricted Collections Quests fall into two different categories. In the first, you can collect a special item from ANY Crop, Tree, Animal or Machine randomly. In the second, you can collect four different variations of a single item randomly from specific Crops, Animals, Trees or Machines. You must obtain a specific number of each of the four variations. The Crowns Collection Quest falls into the first category which is easier to achieve than the second.
The final Reward or Rewards in any Collection Quest usually are required to complete one or more steps in the traditional sequence of Quests. This one is no exception. You will need the Wild Rose Bush in order to harvest Wild Rose Fruit from it in Part V of 'A Dragon's Legend'. The Wild Rose Bush actually can be purchased from the Market for 8 RC as well as being the final Reward that must be unlocked in the Dragon Cave by obtaining one of each of the four initial prizes and then collecting a total of 150 Crowns to redeem the Tree itself. You therefore can opt to buy the Tree or wait until you have unlocked it, collected 150 Crowns to redeem it from the Dragon Cave. The other item required in the Quest sequence is a Wawel Dragon. This is one of the initial four Prizes in the Dragon Cave.
If you do not wish to spend RC on this Quest combination, your priority should be to collect Crowns as you will not be able to continue past Part IV until you redeem the Wild Rose Bush. Even while you are focusing on this aspect of the Quest, however, you can make the traditional sequence easier by cooking Dishes that are ingredients for required Dishes. Among these are Soft Dough, Cake Flour, Butter, Batter and Cottage Cheese. Remember always that you have a total of 30 Power in the Kitchen. You can augment this from Gift Cleaning Bags that contain 1 Power each or purchase more Power in the Market, but it is best to plan ahead and make all possible ingredients before they are needed.
There are other 'ingredients' that are produced by Machines or Animals. These include Sugar, Wheat Bread, Milk and Buffalo Milk. Remember that you can collect Crowns randomly from ANY Animal or Machine as well as Crops and Trees. Setting out Machines to produce needed ingredients therefore has a subsidiary benefit in aiding the completion of your Collections Quest.

The Original Legend of the Wawel Dragon
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The tale of the Wawel Dragon is very much a part of the story of the founding of the city of Krakow in Poland. Wawel is the site of Wawel Castle at a bend in the Vistula River. Long ago, during the reign of King Krak, for whom the city of Krakow is named, a fearsome dragon terrorised the land. Like most of his kind, he belched flames that destroyed crops and trees. His enormous appetite for meat decimated the livestock. His presence was a terrible curse and the King at last offered the hand of his daughter to the man who could rid the land of the beast.
Many brave warriors and knights responded to the summons but all failed and lost their lives to the dragon. Finally, a young shoemaker appeared. He had neither armour nor weapons but only the tools of his trade in the form of a needle and twine. The people were disposed to mock him but he quietly asked for a lambskin, some sulpher, pitch and mustard seed.
When he received the items he had requested, he filled the lambskin with the sulpher, pitch and mustard seed. With consummate dexterity, he then sewed it together so that it resembled a live lamb. He placed it on the bank of the river, then waited for the arrival of the dragon.
The dragon lurched out of a cave in the hill, breathing fire. The rumbling of his stomach sounded like thunder. He had slept through the day and was famished. As soon as he spied the lamb on the bank of the river, he gobbled it whole. Much to his distress, he found that the meal did not agree with him. He went to the river to drink, hoping that the water would calm his aching belly. Instead, filled with the mixture of sulpher, pitch, mustard seed and water, the dragon exploded.
The young cobbler became the hero of the land and King Krak honoured his promise to give his daughter's hand to the lad in marriage. The farmers no longer feared for their crops, trees and livestock and the wedding feast lasted for many a night and a day. My own great-great-great-great-great grandmother danced at the wedding and wore out a dozen pairs of dancing slippers.
This Quest sequence is based upon the legend of the Wawel Dragon, an old Polish tale that is connected with the founding of the city of Krakow. A statue of the Wawel Dragon, belching real flames, is one of the attractions of modern Krakow. It stands at the entrance to the Dragon's Den, a natural cave in Wawel Hill.
